Eric Schmidt hints that Google Now for iOS is up to Apple

A few days ago, a video leaked promoting Google Now for iOS and while the legitimacy of that ad has been questioned, Google Chairman Eric Schmidt hinted that the application is ready for iOS and that it is up to Apple to make the final decision about whether it will allow Android's response to Siri to be available to Apple iPhone and Apple iPad users...

I love how google plays dirty with windows phone and don't support or release any google apps , but they come begging to apple to approve google now lol that's the power of apple , we don't need google now we just gotta make Siri better , Apple doesn't try anything when it comes to laggy android , no one single thing , and them fandroid talk about apple no being fair with google , well google is no far with windows phone that's how it works .

I'm curious as to what you're believing to be untrue.
Apple wants to keep the footprint of Google at a minimum on IOS?
Look it took PUBLIC outrage just to get Google MAPS back on IOS when clearly it was the better MAP over Apple MAPS?
Your statements don't make his untrue. In fact, your first statement makes his statement true.

I actually feel a little angry that this is being developed and resources are being used, instead of bringing this to ICS and even Gingerbread... Maybe released as a separate app through the Play Store...

Same goes for Chrome not being compatible with Gingerbread... wtf google?

Agreed, sometimes I feel like Google supports other platforms instead of Android itself (giving away tools for porting Android apps to other platforms, and now this).

Remember Chrome for mobile? 95% percent of iOS users can run it, but only about %30 of Android users can run it
- BUT OEMS ARE TO BLAME!!!
Yes and no, why did Google use an API level that's not available for at least half the total of Android users?

Yeah, Chrome for Android blows, and unless you are a Chrome desktop user, it is not competitive with mobile Safari. The only good browser that is on both platforms is Dolphin. Coincidentally, one of my major gripes about WP8 is that it has zero good browsers. That is a huge problem for that platform.

The only reason why Apple haven't approved Google Now for ios is because it's "FREE". If Google had charged $3.99 for the App, it would already be in the App Store, cause Apple would then get their 30% from the App.

They won't approve it because of the data harvesting Google does. Had Maps been akin to Android Maps with its data collection, it would not have been approved. Not that Google Maps matters anymore, anyway.
